Three keys to success for entrepreneurs

Guest Column elizabeth saunders Special to Globe and Mail Update Published Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 6:00AM EST
I’m not responsible for everything
I started out in business with an eagerness to please my clients — no matter what — and I put more stress on myself than I needed to.
Sometimes I’d work on a project that required someone else to give me information before I could move forward. They didn’t always feel the same sense of responsibility to meet deadlines, which means they gave me what I needed to complete the project at the last minute, and then I had to work really late to get everything finished on time.
More related to this story
Over the years, I learned to set boundaries and I realized that I’m not responsible for people outside my organization who are running behind. Instead of stressing out and trying to pick up the slack, I give clients regular progress reports and I warn them when someone has not lived up to an agreement to deliver on time. I’ve found that, in general, clients are very understanding and this strategy reduces the burden tremendously.
Packaging leads to success — or failure
One of my biggest joys as an entrepreneur is having a ton of flexibility in my life and variety in my work. When I began my business, I actually preferred contract work that didn’t tie me down on a long-term basis. I saw it as giving me more freedom.
But after almost six years of full-time entrepreneurship, I’ve found that offering “retainer” contracts, where my company is paid on a monthly basis, and larger three- to six-month programs is a huge key to success. When you have larger contracts, you even out your cash flow, reduce your sales and marketing time and build a long-term, value-packed relationship with your clients.
Sales is fun. Really
I’ve always enjoyed marketing: strong networking and communications skills have come naturally to me from the time I started toddling around. But I used to detest the thought of sales. I thought it was enough to tell people what I did and they would hire me if they needed me.
Once I got into the coaching business, where I help people who have struggled with time management for years, I realized that marketing was not enough. I needed to know how to sell to get chronic procrastinators into a coaching program that would transform their lives. I invested in sales training so I could learn the art and science of sales, and I found I loved it. Selling done well provides the right people with the right solutions to overcome their challenges.

Coaching likely to fit Teel fine
Posted: at 3:11 am
Mike Teel has taken a step up in his college football coaching career.
Teel, the all-time leading passer in Rutgers history, was named quarterbacks coach at Wagner College on Feb. 13 after serving as the quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator at Kean last season, when the Cougars were 10-2 and ranked 10th nationally among Division III teams.
"Our quarterbacks will benefit from Mike’s wide array of experiences," said veteran Wagner coach Walt Hameline. "Mike is serious about the game, eager to make coaching his life’s work, and I believe the success he enjoyed and his name recognition in this region will resonate in recruiting."
A three-year starter and two-time captain at Rutgers, Teel never lost a game at Don Bosco. He’s been the quarterbacks coach at the Phil Simms Quarterbacks Camp since 2000 and has served in the same capacity at the Greg Toal Ironman Football Camp and All American Football Academy since 2010.
Greg Schiano, Teel’s college coach, is not surprised his former player has become a coach.
"Mike was a great player for us and even in his playing days you could already see that he would make a fantastic coach," Schiano said. "This is a great opportunity for him to fulfill that promise and I know that he will do a phenomenal job. Wagner is lucky to have a bright young mind like his."
Milligan milestone
Former Don Bosco star Georgio Milligan has become the leading scorer in Franklin & Marshall history. He scored a game-high 26 points in a 63-53 victory over Dickinson, upping his career total to 1,807 points. James McNally had held the record with 1,796 points.
Brianne Traub, the former Eastern Christian star from Wayne, is the first freshman in the 25-year history of the University of Sciences’ women’s program to score more than 400 points in a season. Traub is the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week for the eighth time. She’s averaging 17.6 points.
Vaughn Gray of Elmwood Park is a key reserve for George Mason (23-6). The 6-foot-5 freshman, who prepped at Don Bosco and St. Benedict’s, is averaging 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.

Marblehead-Swampscott trio to help college-bound students
Posted: at 3:11 am
Phil Sloan, a Swampscott-based sports lawyer, has teamed up with his former Harvard College classmate, an independent educational consultant and life coach, Steve Maislin, and Marblehead-based financial consultant and college-planning expert Jim Femia, to launch CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections.
The new company will help high school students with preparing for college as well as the admissions process.
“We differentiate ourselves from other college admissions advisory services in that we believe that teenagers are more in need of ‘student life coaches’ than high-priced babysitters to walk them through the college admissions process,” said Sloan.
While they offer traditional college admissions counseling, financial aid consulting and essay-writing services, Sloan noted, “It is our ‘student life coaching’ approach which makes us different; that, and the fact that we employ college students to provide more relevant, more affordable college preparation and admissions services.”
Sloan continued, “When we began working with high school seniors over the past year, we heard over and over again how much they wished they had begun focusing themselves sooner to what it was going to take for them to get into college. We decided to focus ourselves on helping teenagers as early as possible to set and achieve measurable goals along the way.”
Working closely with Maislin, a certified life coach trained in college admission counseling, Sloan said he has developed a new and innovative methodology to set and attain measurable goals through core life skills such as prioritization and time management. Their interdisciplinary approach, which they have termed “student life coaching,” combines extensive research in educational consulting, adolescent and sports psychology, leveraging the combined experience of their growing network of professional partners.
“We are not claiming to work miracles,” said Sloan. “We simply work closely with teenagers and their parents to figure out how best to help them to meet their goals, in and out of the classroom. In today’s world, where students are pulled in so many different directions, so much of that a result of social networking and texting, maintaining focus and working towards goals can be nearly impossible for the average teenager.”
Sloan added, “Many parents are frustrated that they are unable to communicate more effectively with their teenage children. We strive to connect with this often difficult-to-reach age group, underlining the importance of balancing their time between schoolwork, athletics, community service and other extracurricular activities with social time, so as to better position themselves in the fiercely competitive college admissions process.”
In order to help parents to better communicate this message to teenagers and to help them to cope with the stress of gaining admission to college during the often turbulent adolescent years, CollegeBound Coaching is currently hiring and training high-achieving college students to work closely with its clients. “Campus Coaches” partner with the CollegeBound Coaching professional team to provide middle and high school students with the individual help, support and guidance they need.
Further leveraging this fast-growing network of college students, CollegeBound Coaching is launching a new and innovative college visit service, “Campus Connections,” to provide high school juniors, seniors and their parents with personalized, customized campus visits at schools across the country, beginning this spring.
According to Sloan, “We are not trying to replace the official college admissions tours conducted by the schools themselves. Instead, we are offering to provide high school students and their parents with a low-cost way to gain access to real college students on campuses across the country who can answer their real questions as to what it’s really like to go to that college. We are also providing college students with much-needed, on-campus, part-time jobs.”
Sloan continued, “With transfer rates and tuition costs rising so dramatically over recent years, we are helping college applicants and their families to make the best possible decision the first time around. With parents spending so much time and money on visiting colleges with their high school-age children, we have created Campus Connections to serve a growing demand for increased productivity of these campus visits.”
For more information on CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections, you can visit collegeboundcoaching.com. To speak with Sloan, Femia or another member of the CollegeBound Coaching professional team about their student life coaching, college admissions, financial aid, college visit or other consulting services, you can call 800-689-5195 or send e-mail to info@collegeboundcoaching.com.

Affordable life coaching

The Gilbert Boys and Girls Club's first ever Coach-a-Thon will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 31.
For a minimum donation of $20 - all of which will go to the Boys and Girls Club - Valley residents can get 30 minutes of expert advice from specialists in the areas of finance, health and wellness, career, communications and transitions. The club is located at 44 N. Oak in Gilbert.
"Coaching is really a way for people to get moving forward with whatever it is they want to accomplish," said organizer Bob Wilson of Smartful Coaching, a Gilbert-based business and life coaching company. "That may be improving their finances, it may be helping them move forward with starting a new business, or it could be any number of things in their life that they want to make a change with."
Participants will not have to worry about any obligation for future coaching sessions, nor being solicited.
"The coaches that are there, they're donating their time. They're not turning this into a sales pitch," Wilson said.
Wilson, a member of Gilbert's Chamber of Commerce, hopes the event will make up for some of the cuts the Gilbert Boys and Girls Club has had to its budget.
"I heard that their funding had been cut pretty significantly," Wilson said. "I was looking for a cause to donate to, and I heard that was one that was in need, Certainly if we can help the kids that's a good thing."
According to Wilson, the $20 donation is a deal you won't often find.
"The $20 donation that we're asking for is really pretty reasonable for what most places charge," Wilson said.
